    1. I’m from NZ – we’re both culpable because of the five eyes… are you paying attention?

    2. @Milan Osborne
      I’m from Canada, we have been laughing so hard for four years. We have a saying here “Never underestimate American stupidity.”

    3. It’s an ongoing PTSD event, I witnessed a horrific accident once, it got so that everytime I finally got to sleep it replayed, replayed, becoming more Lucid each time, got so bad I hardly slept for months and months. This situation with Trump takes me right back there.

    4. The Event?, Pedestrian v Double Decker Bus, 6 foot from where I was standing…..A shower of skull and brain matter……30+ year’s and I can still see it in Technicolor.

  1. Yes everyone does know what “political crime” tRump’s accusing Obama of “BEING PRESIDENT WHILE BLACK”

    1. You know, I don’t even know if it’s a matter of Obama being black. I think that it’s a matter of Obama being a good person with excellent morals: He has a lifetime marriage and equal partnership to one strong, beautiful woman who is just as accomplished as he is; he is a father to daughters who he raised to excel (and didn’t just appoint to his cabinet to keep his interests close to him like you-know-who.) Obama does not have lists of failed ventures. His presidency was not marked by rage, insults and vengeance against those who opposed him. You might not agree with all of his policies (I don’t) but you can’t deny that Obama is a nice man. Mean and dishonest people are annoyed by nice people with good morals and find ways to undermine them.

  2. “Obamacare—it’s been going on for a long time. Ever since I needed someone to blame cause I’m an incompetent racist knucklehead.”

    1. IMAO TRUMP2020 It depends what you read. If you read only right-wing trash, your views will reflect that. As they do.

    2. Milan Osborne Ten instances of obstruction of justice in the Mueller Report. Hiring family and staff who can’t get security clearances. Firing an FBI director because he wouldn’t stop an investigation. Doing the same with the Attorney General that HE CHOSE.
      Like me to continue?

    1. @Robert Muckle – ALL Liberal DOLTS are in need of diaper changes. They see truth then crap right away.

  3. “Obamagate” LOL, Trump doesn’t know what it is. He just throws it out there and waits for his sheep to make up a story.

    1. Roy Rodgers That’s what OBAMAGATE is. Illegally wire tapping the opponent & Fabricating the Truth. Hope you educated now

  4. “How do you reply to President Obama hating Trump cult followers?“

    “Respond… We went from Real Gold to Fools Gold.”

    1. sal collins which he caused over 80K of those Americans he loves so much. You can dismiss those deaths like it was nothing.

    2. @IMAO TRUMP2020 Trump still hasn’t responded to the virus. Hasn’t responded much to anything real. He may actually be in a coma.

    3. @RAP Nothing will save you from the sad realization of the reality that Trump has thoroughly conned you.

  5. When T says “Obama” his minions salivate. They’re the haters, Obama haters. They can’t tell you specifically why they hate him, they just do.

    1. don’t have time to list all of of obamas illegal crap , maybe millions of dollars given to u.s. hating iran , maybe against move capital of Israel to Jerusalem ,maybe trying to overrun this country with illegals who refuse to apply legally ……….don’t have time or patience to school a bunch of sheep .

    2. @Milan Osborne You had better read up on Watergate before you make a bigger fool of yourself

    3. edward cunha hahaha, that confirms your idiocy. Trump supporters hate Obama because he was a bad president. Dropped 100k+ bombs on 8 different countries, which had a 90% civilian casualty rate. He aided and abetted terrorist organisations (isis isil alqaeda Daesh et al) by paying, training, arming and providing intelligence and air support to globally affirmed terrorists. Honest questions: why do you like Obama, and why don’t you like trump?

  6. What’s been released? I haven’t heard or seen anything. Oh, I’m sorry … I don’t watch Fox News

  7. You can guarantee he will say something ridiculous whenever babbling into a microphone. Those present should laugh out loud as audiences do to circus clowns. World leaders do it. Why not everyone else?

    1. @Jim Battersbee Well said Sir. The time is at hand to change our fundamental outlook and behavior toward our planet and our fellow humans

    2. ​@Jim BattersbeeThat’s because Russian has successfully divided America over centuries of infiltration. Russian spies caught in America now posing as trump supporters and wearing Russian propaganda t-shirts at trump rallies. https://youtu.be/ZpIfLRqz0bg

    3. ​@Robert HodgeThere’s thousands like these in America at trump rallies wearing pro Russian t-shirts. Russian spies caught in America now posing as trump supporters and wearing Russian propaganda t-shirts at trump rallies. https://youtu.be/ZpIfLRqz0bg

    4. @dan112020 All I can answer is wtf how are their life experiences that different from mine? I won’t give up trying to bring them around and I hope you don’t either.

  8. He’s just trying to get focus off of his handling the covid19 outbreak and his lack of action.

  9. He just wants people to talk about something other than his poor response to so many americans dying under his watch!

  10. I laughed out loud when a reporter asked Trump what Obamagate was and he didn’t have an answer.

  11. “Obamagate”– the crime of running a fact-based, pragmatic administration that makes yours look like a psychotic clown-car.

    1. Fact, Obama administration built cages with gates for immigrant children. I think they were called Obama gates.
